Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an aerosol-generating device for generating an aerosol by inductively heating an aerosol-forming substrate. The device comprises a device housing comprising a cavity configured for removably receiving the aerosol-forming substrate to be heated. The device further comprises an inductive heating arrangement comprising an induction coil for generating an alternating magnetic field within the cavity, wherein the induction coil is arranged around at least a portion of the receiving cavity. The device also comprises a flux concentrator arranged around at least a portion of the induction coil and configured to distort the alternating magnetic field of the inductive heating arrangement towards the cavity during use of the device, wherein the flux concentrator comprises, in particular is made of a flux concentrator foil. The invention further relates to an aerosol-generating system comprising an aerosol-generating device according to the invention and an aerosol-generating article for use with the device, wherein the article comprises an aerosol-forming substrate to be heated.
